This was on my mind as soon as 2.3 was announced. If you have a 2 slot hanger bay will it be possible for the pilot and his/her crewmate to each pilot an SRV and explore together?
2.3 - Can crew members join me in an SRV if I have 2?
- Thread starter U.S.S Banterprise
- Start date
That would be damn useful.
Or put one SRV on the ground, a fighter in the air and the ship in the air.
Now we have THREE scouts out exploring.
They would find out where the ship goes when it is dismissed! I'm imagining some Pixar cars like world where the dismissed ships are chatting and stuff...
*sigh*
Some people like to multicrew. Is it really beyond the capabilities of so many here to just acknowledge that? It is? Okay...
If one is in the ship, another in a fighter, and another in an SRV, chatting on comms, how is it any different from each piloting his own ship/srv in a wing while chatting on comms?

No, it's just that the Headline feature of this Major Update is defeated by mechanics already in the game. And the new addition (gunning with turrets) is hardly worth the extra effort of coding multi-crew. Especially at the expense of NPC crew.
Or my friends are at the a** end of the galaxy 4 hours live flight hours away and I want to play with them NOW, not tomorrow.
And one of my friends might not have a ship for the job OR the money for said ship.
So, we invite them in to have FUN.
Ok. I mean, I guess in that 1 case when you want to kill 20 minutes ing about on a planet while you wait for a better game to download... then fine. But elite has so many other lacking areas, I'd hope FD focus on adding more to the game than a mild occasional distraction.
Just having fun? With your friends? In a computer game? I agree mate, but to some these are concepts more alien than Thargoids.

Nope, its not. Its a feature for people who want to have fun multicrew a ship together with friends.
